Photographer's Note

The main winter destination in the state of São Paulo, Campos do Jordão is a municipality located in the Mantiqueira Mountain Range, almost on the border with Minas Gerais, at 1628 meters above sea level. At this time of year, it can easily reach temperatures below 0°C during the early morning hours. In the photo, the gateway to the city.

Ola Alexandre,
The beautiful two side's identical houses are beautifully illuminated, where details shown marvelously.
There was some reflecting light on the lens from passing cars - but not a great issue, the place worth the interest, as you written about.
Boa tardes,
Ike

Hello Alexandro,
Except for the sign in Portuguese I could have thought this was somewhere in Germany. The buildings are nicely designed in any case, and with this illumination in the dark night they look terrific. Maybe best of all I like the lights from the cars. It's a cleverly exposed photo and the colours get a remarkable intensity in the black surroundings.
Best regards,
Gert

Ciao Alex,fresh weather,perfect for hot days that i'm living...eheh...the pic is beautiful,the entrance of the village in the night taken in a very sharp and bright composition,i like it! Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

Ola Alexandre,
nice the night view of the gateway to the city of Campos do Jordão with the side houses to are captured and presented perfect.I like the excellent light and colour management as the clarity of the scene.

Very impressive and fantatsic night shot via long shutter speed setting. Light flow of cars is so attractive and eyecatching to see. So sharp and clear presnetation for the two houses are nice cntarast with moving light beam, so nice idea!

Good evening.
Nice view at night and a moment, good text ...
Beautifully shown, good contrast, beautiful colors, beautifully captured moment at night. Nice facades and details, beautiful architecture in the night.
I wish you a nice and peaceful night, all the best in the new week that started, good luck.

Hello Alexandre,
I expected this to be a picture of Blumenau ... but it's taken in the state of São Paulo.
Excellent light management. The building is standing out nicely and very sharp in the dark night.
What an unusual gateway to a city!
Best regards, Paul

Hello Alexandre, There are low temperatures, does it also happens that it snows there? Beautiful night shot. The interesting building of the gate to the town. A kind of half-timbered construction. Lovely picture.
Kind regards Malgo

You have captured well the light made by the moving cars. Using a tripod and probably a slow shutter speed is showing the details of the houses and of the gate. It also has a special effect on the colours. Have a nice day.

I like the symmetry of the 2 half timbered buildings either side framing the road. A superb nocturnal shot with good sharpness. The long time exposure has also given a light trail of a passing car. Tfs!

Hello Alexandre
When I first saw the photo, I thought for a moment that you had made a trip to Germany or Austria. I do not immediately think of Brazil with this half-timbered architecture.
Wonderful result in this nocturnal atmosphere.
Well done
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Hi Alexandre,
what a lovely gate to the city. I thought at first these are stylish houses in a remote village so the trails of the car in the very middle of the road worked quite surprising.
Very original night photography.
Have a great weekend,
M

Ola Alexandre Nobody can miss the city gate at night, given thier elegant design. Your photo essay turned into a masterpiece of accurate exposure despite harsh light on the buildings. Very well done. Abraços
